Djinn (Alain) was the model for one of my students a few years prior to the sculpting of this piece. Before I had the opportunity to sculpt him he returned to the Turks and Kakos Islands, the land of his birth.

I had so wanted to sculpt him, that I put the word out that if he returned I would hire him as my model. A few years later I was graced with that opportunity.

He is a multi talented artist, beat boxer, and now a comedian. At the time I sculpted him, he was at that age of being between boyhood and becoming a man.
